The Sacramento Kings, Chicago
Bulls, and San Antonio Spurs have completed a three team trade
involving De’Aaron Fox and Zach LaVine according to ESPN’s Shams
Charania. 

The full trade details
include: 

• • San Antonio
    Spurs Receive:
    • De’Aaron Fox
    • Jordan McLaughlin
  • Sacramento
    Kings Receive:
    • Zach LaVine
    • Sidy Cissoko
    • Three first round picks (2025 CHA, 2027 SAS,
      2031 MIN)
    • Three second round picks (2025 CHI, 2028 DEN,
      2028 own back)
  • Chicago Bulls Receive:
    • Zach Collins
    • Tre Jones 
    • Kevin Huerter
    • their own 2025 pick via SAS (top 10
      protected)

ANALYSIS: This trade provides
the Spurs with their PG of the future to pair up with budding
superstar Victor Wembanyama. San Antonio is already in the thick of
the playoff play-in race in the West now, and with the addition of
Fox they will be set for this season and beyond. Expect Wemby and
Fox to terrorize the West for years to come with both of their
primes peaking at the same time.

The Kings got a reasonable
return for their disgruntled franchise point guard in Fox by
getting back a scorer in LaVine from Chicago. LaVine should fit in
seamlessly with star center Domantas Sabonis with his ability to
shoot the three, cut, and score in all three levels. With Fox’s
departure, expect Malik Monk to take on more PG duties with LaVine
sliding into the 2 spot. Moreover, the Kings are set for their
future as well with 6 picks (three firsts and three seconds) also
netted from the trade.

For the Bulls, this ends the
Zach LaVine era in Chicago and receives three role players in
return. However, the real prize of this trade for them was getting
back their own pick from San Antonio which was top-10 protected.
The 2025 NBA Draft class is shaping up to be one of the deepest in
recent history, so the Bulls are firmly placing themselves to
select a high-level prospect and continue their process of a real
rebuild.
